As her lunches became more in demand, her confidence grew, and her little home business grew, and look at how far she's come! She's "real people" from everything I've seen/read/heard, and it's heartwarming - as well as encouraging. Bethenny, on the other hand, is such a HUGE letdown. On RHoNY I cried when she cried, laughed when she laughed, really pulled for her life to turn around. Which it did. And it seems she's kicked it to the curb.

Bethenny is one of those people who when they are happy they still aren't satisfied so they sabotage themselves. I think she thrives on being a victim an she just can't handle happiness.

I also read a similar story elsewhere and it included even more connections between the two. It kind of makes me sick. She has the nerve to pretend to have been working on their marriage, all the while getting closer to this guy. It's so pathetic. She really is a super selfish person. Even if there is nothing there romantically, you don't disrespect your husband, daughter and marriage by creating that image. She really is clueless. To have so much, but yet so little. Sad.

So I got curious and this morning started watching a marathon of Bethenny Ever After. I was bored in five minutes. I did not find her likable at all. I'm glad I never wasted any time on her. She seemed overall to be just horribly self involved.

Good for you. However, I did waste a lot of time on her. I also tried watching the BEA marathon today (for old times sake). I, too, couldn't take more than a minute or so - knowing how it all turned out was a nasty feeling for me.

Bethenny reminds me of one of those people who've always been poor, then win the lottery. And they blow it and end up right back where they were before. Any whining/tears from Bethenny will not even have a chance to fall on my deaf ears.

Re: Bethenny Ever After

Holy cow....what is Bethanny thinking???!!!
She's on the verge of losing almost all her fans if this is true. JMO
We liked her, we rooted for her, we fell in love when she fell in love, we loved her little family (Jason & Bryn)
She has tons of money, possibly a very rich boyfriend (I'm pretty sure it's true....why else go running to his place after separating?) and yet she will remain very
poor in all the things that matter.
She had soooo many people who loved and wished the best for her....many will not be happy about all this.
Then where will she get what she wants with her never-ending-bottomless pit for approval?
